Quite interesting.
And one question

Where in the UK one can buy 100% cotton fabric to replace the lining of a flyer's jacket like the one shown below?

The color should be the burnt orange as shown in the photos above.
Please do not point me to jacket makers, I am looking to buy the fabric, so any fabric vendors are welcome.

Thanks and regards,
